Question

If O(0, 0) and P(-8, 0) then co-ordinates of its midpoint are .............

• A. (-4, 0)
• B. (4, 0)
• C. (0, -4)
• D. (0, 0)

Answer 1

The correct option is A (-4, 0)

Let $A(x,y)$ be the midpoint of line segment joining points $O$ and $P$.
By midpoint formula we can say that,
$(x,y)=(\frac{0+(-8)}{2},\frac{0-0}{2})=(-4,0)$
Hence, the coordinates of midpoint is $(-4,0)$
